I was blessed with growing up in a small town. Total of 4 full-time police officers back then, including the Chief (who was my best friend's dad). They were good men, pillars of the community. Between school and church, everybody knew them and they knew everybody. We had one town crazy guy who was harmless, and the niggers stayed on their side of their side of the river and didn't come into town after dark. Crime was low and life in general was good.
